From Popular Science -> Zero Gravity Roller Coaster (http://www.ongo.com/v/2803256/-1/B9417C077947AF26/zero-gravity-roller-coaster)
Is this really any different from Superman @ SFMM?
Open is better than enclosed.
Scrape up 50 Million and we can find out.

I doubt this would ever see the light of day.

El Toro and Nitro have more air-time, and cost less put together!

The point of the ride is to give you a safe way to feel the freedom of weightlessness. If the car wasn't enclosed you wouldn't be safe to move around. It's kind of like NASA's Vomit Comet in coaster form. I WANT!

No moving around...
Passengers would enter the coaster through gull-wing doors, face forward,
and sit upright, six to 16 to a car. They would buckle into simple two-point restraints,
but the belts would be kept slightly slack so they would have room to rise out of their
seats. Once aboard, they could remove from a small stand in front of their seats one of
several tethered “scientific packages”—a cup filled with water, a ball, a gyroscope. In
addition to experiencing weightlessness, they would be able to observe how the selected
object changed properties in zero gravity. The cars would also be outfitted with drains.
Should the ride live up to its nauseous namesake, attendants at the unloading stations
would be ready with hoses.

I just got my Issue yesterday and seen this
its cool and all but will never been built
They will never build something you can't see your surroundings while riding for this much $
almost can be built for a few million in a simulator
